The Heat On symbol is shown on the display when the thermostat is heating. Heating

for freeze protection is provided whenever the air or floor temperature falls below 40

(4.5

C), regardless of operating mode.

Regular Heating

W1 relay is on when the air temperature falls 1.5°F (1°C) below the Heat To setting.

When the temperature reaches the Heat To setting, the relay turns off.

Radiant Floor Heating

When Radiant Floor Heating is selected in the setup menu, the W1 relay operates

using Pulse Width Modulation. This improves comfort for radiant systems with high

mass floors.

• 100% on time at Heat To setting -1.5

• 50% on time at Heat To setting

• 0% on time at Heat To setting + 1.5

Room Sensor and Averaging

The room temperature can be measured using a combination of the built-in and

auxiliary sensors.

• Built-in room sensor only

• Built-in room sensor with auxiliary rooom sensor(s) (temperature is averaged)

• Auxiliary room sensor only

Floor Sensor for Radiant Floor Heating

If a floor sensor is connected, floor minimum and maximum settings are available.

For a combination of air and floor temperature control, leave the internal air sensor on

in the setup menu. A floor minimum can be used to prevent a fast drop in temperature

caused by receding solar exposure. This operation is recommended for areas heated

by afternoon sun through large windows. When the sun sets, it can take a long time

for the floors to get warm again. This may cause the room to cool off too much in the

early evening. A floor minimum setting can help with this condition by maintaining a

floor minimum temperature. Keep in mind the floor minimum temperature will override

the air temperature, and if set too high, may overheat the room.

A floor maximum is recommended for rooms with hardwood floors. Setting floor minimum

and maximum temperatures is a way of enhancing the comfort of the living space while

protecting floor coverings.

If there are more than one floor temperature sensors, the temperature is averaged.

Warm Weather Shut Down (WWSD)

The heating system can automatically shut off based upon the outdoor temperature

and the WWSD setting. This provides a convenient way to shut off radiant floor heating.
